Amazon Announces Amazon Mobile App for Windows Phone 7

Amazon is including Windows Phone 7 in the family with a new Amazon Mobile App for the platform. The app is free, like every other Amazon mobile app, and blends in with the Windows Phone 7 look and feel by allowing you to swipe left and right to get from search results to item details, and by giving you the ability to make purchases directly from your phone.

Windows Phone 7 users have had the ability to shop at Amazon using their mobile browsers, but unlike the iPhone and Android they haven't had a native mobile app to make it easier to browse items, look at their wishlists, or manage their accounts. Now, Amazon is including Windows Phone 7 in the family with a new Amazon Mobile App for the platform. The app is free, like every other Amazon mobile app, and blends in with the Windows Phone 7 look and feel by allowing you to swipe left and right to get from search results to item details, and by giving you the ability to make purchases directly from your phone.

The new Windows Phone 7 version of the Amazon mobile app allows users to make purchases directly from their phones, track their packages and orders, manage their accounts, and do just about everything that their Android and iOS friends can do with their versions of the Amazon mobile app. The app is designed to fit right in with the interface and design of Windows Phone 7, instead of simply being a port of another version.

The app gives Amazon shoppers the ability to quickly search for and view details on products they may be interested in, or search to compare prices with brick-and-mortar retailers. You can use the app to easily add items to your wishlist, order an item with 1-Click if your account is set up for it, or just browse items by swiping your fingers left and right between search results and item details.

If you're an Amazon Prime member, the app supports your account and your default 2-day shipping options, and allows you to manage your Prime account as well. Amazon Mobile for Windows Phone 7 works on any Windows Phone 7 device, and is available for free to download in the Windows Phone Marketplace.
